Five days earlier…
Seth Rollins opened the door to his hotel room and looked around the hallway, seeing no one.
"All clear." He whispered back into the room and Dakota walked out into the hallway.
"Remember not a single word to anyone or I'll be back with a knife." Dakota responded.
"You got it. Same with you because if Yuki finds out, she'll kill me." Seth said.
Dakota snuck down the hallway and Seth turned to go back into the room, the early September morning making him want to go back to sleep, which he did.
But he was unaware that 25 year old Amanda saw them… the brunette wandered back into her room and closed the door, Finn noticing that his friend had gone quiet.
"What did you see?" Finn asked.
"Dakota sneaking out of Seth's room… now I don't know whether to smack him, tell Yuki or both... after all the hell he's given us or just cut him out of my life completely." Amanda explained, Finn standing up and walking over before wrapping his arms around the pajama clad woman, the two hugging.
"They both were more like drunk and weren't think straight." Finn responded as he stroked Amanda's disheveled chestnut hair.
"That's the same bullshit he yelled at me after assuming that you and I hooked up after NXT TakeOver Unstoppable…" Amanda replied as they let go, Finn reaching his hands up to her shoulders. "Why is it that he gives me hell for being around you and he just goes and does whatever he wants?" She asked quietly.
"I'll tell you one thing you can do, confront Dakota about it." Finn said.
"Just hoping she doesn't flip out on me." Amanda replied as they let go.
"She wouldn't flip at you, she'll flip out at Seth for telling someone. And there is nothing worse than having your ass handed to you by a woman. Happened to me when I pissed Becky off." Finn responded.
When they were ready for the day, Amanda headed into the lobby and let Finn and Bayley talk… she took a deep breath and looked for Dakota.
But she wasn't anywhere to be seen and Amanda felt like things would go past murder… or that Seth would lie…
Present time…
The way they looked at each other after he admitted it was heartbreaking.
"I'm sorry…" Seth replied.
"Am I not enough for you? Or are you just screwed up in the head?" Yuki responded, brushing her tears away.
"Yuki, I didn't mean it… hell, I didn't know it was Kota. When I saw the brown hair, I thought that…" Seth replied, trailing off… but Yuki got the point.
"Stop! Just stop… I trusted you, Seth. And you mistook Dakota for Mandy, who you thought had changed her mind about things?!" Yuki explained.
"I thought she had changed her mind! Then I thought about blackmailing her so she'd keep her mouth shut just like she should keep those legs shut!" Seth replied.
"You still don't get it… Finn isn't trying to get her into his bed, have a quick one nighter and abandon her, he's kind and gentle and he would never break her heart! But you?! I shouldn't be surprised, you slept with Zahra while you were engaged to Leighla, broke up with Zahra after you decided that she was no longer a good fuckbuddy and then cheated on me! Because in all honesty, women are just something you use! Most, anyway! You want Mandy but you can't have her!" Yuki responded, shouting halfway through… before she took her Redesign, Rebuild & Reclaim hoodie off and threw it at him.
"Yuki-" Seth replied as Yuki started grabbing his things and throwing them out the door and into the hotel hallway.
"Now, if you excuse me, Rollins, I have to go get ready for Finny's birthday party, with or without you." Yuki said, before slapping Seth and him leaving… she slammed the door, deciding to go get cleaned up.
Once she was ready, she reached the nightclub and saw them… Amanda, who had recently been cleared off of her Keppra much to everyone's relief, had Kamikazes in her hands and handed one to Yuki.
"Bad breakup…" Amanda responded, Yuki remembering that Amanda went through two of them and that her last boyfriend had cheated on her.
"Yeah… but I'm without a date on this special day." Yuki explained, before taking a sip.
Newly turned 34 year old Finn stood up and absentmindedly tugged at his black button up shirt, a slight stumble in his step as he walked over and him and Yuki hugging.
"Happy birthday, Finn." Yuki responded as they let go, Finn noticing the lack of the nickname she called him by and Amanda whispering what had happened.
"He fucked up big time… make him realise that he didn't know what he had til you left, Yuki girl." Finn responded, Yuki seeing that he was drunk but not over the legal limit.
"Okay, Mr. Birthday Boy is drunk, and he has tried out the cake I made for him." Yuki stated, trying to push Finn away, before he hugged her once more. "Take your Demon Mistress!" She responded, gripping onto part of Amanda's silver dress before she shoved her towards Finn, who grabbed her as Tama walked over.
"Hey, Yuki." Tama responded as Finn and Amanda headed to the dance floor, In My Dreams by Dokken blaring through the nightclub.
"Tama, hi… how you been?" Yuki questioned, feeling shy for a few seconds.
"I've been good. My dad keeps telling me to slow down and settle down though." Tama replied, both laughing.
"Maybe you should one day. But not when you are still your crazy self though." Yuki explained.
"That's what I told him!" Tama responded before they heard Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith featuring Kid Rock playing and smiled as Finn pulled Amanda's left leg up to his right hip as they continued dancing.
"Yep, he's literally drunk. I'mma Instagram those two." Yuki said, before pulling out her phone and had taken a picture of them. "They gonna be so mad at me, the next day… but it feels too sweet!"
"Nights out like these are always fun." Tama responded before they saw a guy with a video camera. "Hey, who invited you to the party?! Give me that fucking camera!" He replied before taking the camera from him.
"I didn't invite TMZ or whoever you are!" Yuki shouted, before high kicking him the face.
"Oh damn…" Finn responded quietly before Hot Blooded by Foreigner began to play and he guided Amanda back to him after Yuki and Tama winked at them as a sign to have fun.
For the first time in what felt like an eternity, they were all enjoying a night without chaos from Seth Rollins… and it felt good to do so.
